About Roasted Tomatoes with Spinach and Parmesan

Who doesn’t love going out to dinner – especially with good friends?

And it gets even better when you go to a restaurant that has an innovative menu like T-Bones Chop House in Las Vegas.

I remember having Snapper with wonderful lemon caper sauce.

It was really good but the thing I remember most was a side we ordered.

Roasted Tomatoes with Spinach stood out. It was healthy, creative and absolutely delicious.

So when I got back to my kitchen, I had to recreate it.

Healthwise, I loved the idea of tomato combined with spinach.

Of course I had to improve it by adding a bit of garlic and butter. It just makes it taste richer.

And then I substituted freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano for the American Cheese.

So let’s make it.

Ingredients of Roasted Tomatoes with Spinach and Parmesan

  • Tomatoes
  • Olive oil
  • Butter 
  • Garlic
  • Spinach
  • Pepper
  • Parmesan Cheese
  • Panko
  • Salt

How to Make Roasted Tomatoes with Spinach and Parmesan

First preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Next, grease an ovenproof pan with olive oil.

Cut the tomatoes in half width wise. Seed them and slice a small portion off the bottom of each one to help them stand firm.

Place the tomatoes in the prepared dish.

Then add butter and garlic to a sauté pan over medium high heat. Cook a stir 1 minute.

Add spinach and pepper and stir with tongs until the spinach begins to wilt.

Remove from heat and divide the wilted spinach equally among the tomatoes.

Add shredded Parmesan over the spinach. Then add Panko over the top.

Drizzle lightly with olive oil and lightly sprinkle sea salt over the top.

Add to the oven and bake 20 minutes until the Panko lightly browns and the tomatoes have a slight give.

If the tomato is still firm, let it cook another 5 minutes.

Beyond that it could get a bit too soft. It’s perfect when the Panko is browned and beautiful and the tomatoes are slightly giving.

Notes

You can actually use any Parmesan cheese, but I think the Reggiano is the best.

I really love the little crunchy bits in it that just have fabulous flavor.

It has a richer nuttier flavor that regular Parmesan doesn’t have.

I know. I know. It’s a lot more expensive, but some things are worth it.

Justify it by knowing you don’t have to use as much because the flavor is more intense.
